Your hair-splitting routine doesn't work. Kaplan HAS been published repeatedly and has been paid a salary for his articles.

The fact that this is a new millenium, and some publications are no longer in the business of killing trees, does not mean that Wallace's claim that "there was no evidence he has been published in print" is valid. What kind of word games are you playing here? Didn't Wallace even do a simple Google search??

For him to claim that Kaplan is not a published author, has not appeared on national tv and radio shows completely misleads his readers and is pretty darn shoddy journalism.
